Did you know this couple in Kerala has a 'zero cost living' home?

How much do you spend on a monthly basis for your home expenses? For groceries, vegetables, fish, and even for beverages? When the cost of living is skyrocketing, a couple from Kerala has successfully built a zero-cost living home on their own. Yes, you heard it right!

The Zero-Cost Living

The couple from Pattambi, Kerala, young couple Sangeeth and Kavya, had a very early retirement plan. The couple invested almost 60% of their savings to build a home, which is now a zero-cost living space for them. As per the video shared on their Instagram page, Life on Roads, the couple has built a sustainable house that has zero cost of living.

"All the vegetables we need come from our small kitchen garden. We cultivate our own rice, and the same goes with chicken, fish, and cows. So, eggs and milk are on the house," Kavya says in a viral video.

Solar Energy, Biogas Plant, Homegrown Mushroom, Organic Honey

The couple also shares that they have a biogas plant in the house, made out of wet waste and cow dung, that provides them with the required cooking gas. Additionally, the whole house is powered with solar energy. They also have a mushroom cultivation that provides them with the needed mushrooms. Not to miss, they also have beehives that provide them with 100% organic honey. Still, how do they meet the other expenses, like petrol, clothes, etc.? Well, they would sell all the above after their use and make money out of it. Simple.
